This is amazing. I am with Verizon Fios and the speed peaked at 560kps. If I use a vpn, it reaches 3000kps very quickly.

- pgrote 12y agoI had similar results. Internet only ATT Uverse at home. Started at 560 dropped to 235 and never made it above 560. VPNed using openvpn into work where it is a commercial ATT fiber connection. Started at 560 and within 4 minutes was at 3000. I am shocked.
- x0054 12y agoIt strikes me like this would be good evidence in an antitrust case against ATT, Verizon, and other ISPs. In most markets there is only one high speed ISP, and one can argue that they are using their monopoly power to force other competitors to their TV programming business out of business. Also, on the consumer side, this might be a good class action case, though thanks to the wonderful state of Texas such cases are rather hard to litigate nowadays.
